One side wanted to keep the land that they farmed. Absentee landlords were
in many instances not owners at all but highway men who collected
protection money to leave them alone. They had no rights in the land but
the people who farmed it did and in many cases in the region no one
bothers with written deeds because few could even read and write. It just
wasn't the custom. As for sharing, why? Jews acquired over 70% (some say
more) and even the terrories are only situate on about 22% of their
original territory with all the best geography and resources going to the
Israelis. There is nothing inherently fair about that.
